i lost mine too. help?

 

Color of the flashlight

Hello

I don't know if there is different colors but mine was "beige"
just like this one :

 

i used mine last night. i was looking at a friends car in the dark, kicking myself for not having a flashlight with me, then i remembered there was one built in. thanks dodge.


i will keep an eye out for one. as well

 

Mine came "lost" Bought the vehicle last month from a non jeep car dealer so when asked about it, he gave me that STOOPID look :drool: and worst still I'm in the UK, so these things aren't exactly falling off the trees here!

 

they come in alot of cars, not only the jeep, but other chrysler products. you could look on ebay, or you could look at junkyards near you (look in phone book and call around). my sunroof button/dome light lens broke, they don't sell it separately. you can't just buy the lens, for the middle and rear dome light, you can, but not for the front. they just do it to steal your money. i found a used one from a junked car for $21, the cost from dealer was over $70.

 

There's a Black hole out there somewhere where all the lost & missing Patriot/Compass/ Caliber Flashlights are having a Party!!

 

Is that in any way similar to the planet where all the missing socks go to? (Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, forget which part though.)

 

I used mine to find my keys one night when I was hanging out in my friends yard helping him work on his car... oddly enough i found the keys but completely lost the flashlight.

 

I came to rely on my flashlight for countless outdoor adventures. But after a year of use, it couldn't hold a charge longer than 10 mins. Couldn't find a replacement for the wierd little battery it uses either.

They're a cute decoration, but at $60, not worth replacing. I say just get a better led flashlight that uses AA batteries. It'll prove more reliable.

 

Part number for the domelilght/flashlight is 5183459AA. MSRP $68.50, Online $47.26
Part number for the battery is 5183454AA. MSRP $7.60, Online $5.24

 

Thanks for the info Ted! Ill look into that. Maybe my flashlight is salvageable after all!

 

i'd be happy if my flashlight could hold a charge for longer than about 2 minutes. It's useless for anything longer than that

 

Found one on ebay...http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2009-CHRYSLER-FLASHLIGHT-LOW-PRICE-TAKE-A-LOOK_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQ_trkparmsZ72Q3a1205Q7c66Q3a2Q7c65Q3a12Q7c39Q3a1Q7c240Q3a1318Q7c301Q3a1Q7c293Q3a1Q7c294Q3a50QQ_trksidZp3286Q2ec0Q2em14QQhashZitem220355455403QQitemZ220355455403QQptZMotorsQ5fCarQ5fTruckQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories

 

You guys are lucky, mine rarely stay in the ceiling and it worked once as flashlight... boo on the flashlights...

 

my bulb went out....anyone know the part number to replace this? is it available in local auto part stores?

 

My flashlight came loose once, pushed it back and it's stayed there. Don't use it much as yet but then it's still summer. I also have a wind up led torch as we call them this side of the pond. Cost about £5.00 GBP and it will last forever I'm told. Made by the same guy who invented the wind up radio for Africa.

 

There are some on eBay right now, fairly cheap replacements:

there are dark grey/slate coloured ones as well.

i use mine camping all the time. it alsted for parts of 3 days before being recharged

 

Just lost mine

 

I think I have used mine once to look for something I dropped out of the tailgate in the dark.
